TE announces the HDS-12i Intelligent HDMI Splitter

Visit us at CEDIA Booth 1280 Transformative Engineering Introduces HDS-12i 1×2 HDMI Splitter NORWOOD, MA (8/13/14) – Transformative Engineering has introduced its HDS-12i Intelligent HDMI one-to-two splitter, which has the ability to mix output resolutions with both up- and down-scaling. This affordably priced device provides full-function, 1.4a HDMI compliant audio/video distribution from one HD or 4K source to any combination of two HD and 4K displays. In a typical set-up, it might support a 4K projector and separate 1080p flat screen. TE’s HDS-12i provides full HDCP security and EDID protocol integrity, and it also recognizes an independent EDID for each connected display. Clock Stretch technology ensures compatibility with older HDMI devices. Output 2 offers a pass-through mode, selectable signal ‘scaling,’ or ‘AVR’ mode, which provides a 4K and 3D bypass solution for legacy AV processors and receivers that lack these technologies. The HDS-12i also incorporates a ‘Trigger’ connection for use with Transformative Engineering’s CCA-1 contact closure adapter to provide feedback to advanced control systems. As with all of Transformative Engineering’s HDMI products, the HDS-12i is firmware upgradable via a USB-Mini connector. Transformative Engineering HDS-12i is backed by a three-year warranty. It is now shipping to TE dealers, and it has a suggested retail price of $299. Transformative Engineering designs and manufactures audio, video, and data communications devices and related components that are used by innovative custom installers and systems integrators to create sophisticated home and commercial systems.

T-E Introduces World’s First HDMI Conditioner/Splitter

Transformative Engineering has introduced the world’s first HDMI Conditioner/Splitter, a new type of device that is designed to resolve HDMI component and cable interface issues, and also to simplify the connection of multiple displays to a single source. The Transformative Engineering two-way HDS-12 and four-way HDS-14 both incorporate T-E’s exclusive “HDCP Stabilization” circuitry to provide a solution for troublesome HDCP reliability issues when used with certain audio/video components, displays and cable boxes.  Known as a difficult protocol for long-length connectivity, HDMI can sometimes be unreliable if strict guidelines are not followed.   The HDMI Conditioner function of these devices works to “clean up” unstable HDCP identifier markers to allow for consistent display of High Definition signals and compliance with the most advanced HDMI...

T-E Expands the Envelope of HDBase-T Capabilities

Transformative Engineering has introduced the next-gen implementation of HDBase-T technology that will provide custom installers with greatly improved audio/video/data distribution capabilities, including the first (ever)use of simultaneous ARC (Audio Return Channel) and HEC (Home Ethernet Connection). This will allow audio signals to be sent back from a TV to a receiver and connection of the home internet connection at the TV over the same HDMI cable. These new models also support Power Over HDBase-T (POH) capabilities that eliminate the need for separate power supplies at the receiver module and provide the ability to remotely power ancillary equipment. These technologies will be used in the company’s new HD-1 Improved HDMI extender and will be selectively applied to the new QX-4 Matrix Switcher, which offers 4 x 4 (expandable to 8 x 8) matrix...
